PROBABILITY
PROBABILITY
Probability is a branch of mathematics that deals with the likelihood or
chance of different outcomes. It helps us predict how likely it is for an
event to happen, which is useful in real-life situations like forecasting
weather, playing games, and making decisions under uncertainty.
Probability measures how likely an event is to occur. It's expressed as a
number between 0 and 1, where: 0 means the event is impossible (it
cannot happen). 1 means the event is certain (it will definitely happen).
• Probability Formula:
• For a given event E, the probability of E happening is calculated as:
P(E) = Number of Favourable Outcomes
Total number of possible outcomes
Example:
If you have a fair six-sided die and want to know the probability of
rolling a 3, there is one favorable outcome (rolling a 3) out of six
possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Therefore, the probability is:
P(rolling a 3)= 1/6
This means there is a 1 in 6 chance of rolling a 3.
Deck of Cards...

A standard deck of cards has:


• 52 cards in total.
• 4 suits: Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs,
and Spades.
• Each suit has 13 cards (Ace, 2,
3, ..., 10, Jack, Queen, King).
• 26 red cards (Hearts and
Diamonds).
• 26 black cards (Clubs and

EXAMPLES OF
PROBABILITY IN REAL
LIFE

Scientific Research
and Analysis

Every scientific research is based


on probability. Scientists keep
possibilities in mind as they
research and try to create new
things. Because researchers do
not know in advance what the
results of their research will be. If
the results were already known,
there would be no need for
research. Therefore, feasibility is
important in every research.
FLIPPING A
COIN
Learning opportunities often begin
with an inverted coin example.
This is the simplest form of the
example with only two outcomes
—heads or tails.

Not only in the classroom, but a


flipped coin also plays an
important role in deciding to start
sports like cricket and baseball.
Each side of the coin has an equal
probability of 50% which gives
both teams an equal chance of
winning the toss.
FORECASTING
THE WEATHER
Here's a simple use of probability in real life
that you've probably already done. We
always check the weather forecast before
we plan a big trip. Sometimes the
forecaster announces that there is a 60
percent chance of rain.

We may decide to delay our outing because


we trust this forecast. But where did the
"60 percent" come from?
Meteorologists use expensive tools and
algorithms to understand the probability of
weather events. They look at historical
data, combine it with current trends, and
see the probability of rain on a given day.
PROBABILITY OF The laws of probability dictate that
the only way to win the lottery is
LOTTER to be a part of it. Then you can
increase your odds even more by
playing more frequently.

Every time you play the lottery,


there is an independent
probability frequency, like with a
coin flip, where you can win or
lose.

Hence, the lottery is a good


example of probability.
